Rock Jocks (2012)
Middle School humor from a surprising source
Surprisingly adolescent humor for a project with Felicia Day. She is usually a safe bet for intelligent humor but this movie is a breath above what an 8th grader could write. Such a disappointment. That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script. To repeat: That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script. Once again: That's all that needs to be said but to make this review have the minimum required lines of text I am now just typing nonsense, much like the general feel of this movie's script.
Honey (2003)
A lot of dance, a lot of heart.
'Honey' deals with the balance between success and social responsibility. Jessica Alba plays Honey Daniels, a hip-hop dance teacher at a New York city youth center. Honey rockets to success with her unique style but starts to loose her connection with the community she loves. Believing that success is a debt that must be repaid, she uses her new found fortune to start a dance center. When her new world takes an unfortunate turn Honey is left without enough money to complete the center. 'Honey' is full of hip beats, strong dancing, and a lot of heart. The topics are relevant, the story inspiring, and by the end the characters are more than images on a screen. The climax is touching and worthy of applause.
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Redefines what Christian movies should be.
This movie provides a shining example of what Christian movies should be and defines films like 'Omega Code' and 'Left Behind' as merely religious. It shows the true nature of God without being heavy-handed. This film is a better witness than anything every produced by TBN or Cloud Ten.
Final Destination 2 (2003)
The first 15 minutes blew me away.
This movie contains the most intense action sequence I have yet seen. The thought of leaving crossed my mind. Not from disapproval, but for a relief from the intensity. The movie is not totally original from the first but is worth a look.
The Recruit (2003)
Saw the trailer = saw the movie.
The trailer for this flick drew me in, and revealed everything. It is not as bad as the trailer for 'Arlington Road', but was close. Having said that, I think the movie was predictable. The near-minute long mono-shout during the climax by Al Pacino did not help.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
The visual effects are as thick as the New Age themes.
I was thrilled to see the eye candy this movie offered. The 'digital actor' still has a lot of growing to do and this film is the first great leap. The mouths of the characters were not fluid enough to be believable but that is OK because what was said wasn't worth hearing. I would have to side with the villain (voiced by James Woods) and say the mumbo-jumbo of ghosts, spirits, and the like is not palatable.
